If you haven't found it already, I think you might like the article "Education and Event: Thinking Radical Pedagogy in the Era of Standardization" (http://urlx.org/99ab). I found it useful (once I was able to parse through the dense writing style) in thinking about the deeper meanings of curriculum and learning; I wrote about it at http://forestfortrees.edublogs.org/2005/08/19/horizon-of-the-event/.

We used to have 12 sled dogs. I separated my shoulder one summer day (with a helmet on my head) because I crashed, endo-style, to avoid a black bear that innocently crossed the trail right in front of me. Only 2 dogs were pulling me at the time, which is plenty fast. Now we only have two dogs, both pound-hound husky mixes that pull us around on skis. Much safer. Still fast. Good luck with the bikedogging. I'm sure you have pleny of stories of your own. Based on my experience, it was always an adventure. Dog stories are fun, hearing them and making them, I agree.
